Coming to which subject you should choose,

Your profile suggests that you are an engineering class 12th student i. e 12th PCM student,

You can choose any subject or course  of your choice based on your interest for your graduation after your 12th for UPSC

This is because,

to be eligible for UPSC  examination there is no compulsion to be a graduate in a particular subject, all you need to be eligible is that :-

So  you can choose any stream of your interest after your 12th PCM like Btech etc, the additional benefit of courses like Btech is that you will have have a plan B i. e a good back up  if you fail to clear UPSC in the worst case , but yes  when it comes to UPSC then if you choose BA or Arts

then

choosing Arts can be really helpful for your UPSC  examination, this is because in Arts you will be learning subjects like history , polity etc which are a part of the UPSC syllabus so it will help you in your upsc examination

So, take your time and decide.

Dear aspirant,

To become an IPS officer is not an easy task, however, if you are determined and promised yourself to be consistent throughout the journey then you'll definitely become one.

After 10th, you must join Humanities side, or commonly know as art side. Then you should go for graduation in bachelor's of art and join some good coaching if you can afford coaching in the second year, otherwise check out the links I am attaching below and follow those steps.
